Scientists unlock a groundbreaking discovery about the origins of life with absorption, fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy.

A teeny-tiny archaea with one of the smallest genomes ever discovered is pushing the limits of what it means to be alive.

Researchers have demonstrated that signals in the intestine produce oscillations that inform cell differentiation.

A molecular tracking technology called DNA Typewriter can record the cellular lineage of a mouse embryo, from a single cell to over a million.

Age-related decline of chaperone-mediated autophagy alters the properties of senescent – or ‘zombie’ – cells, making them increasingly difficult to eliminate. It’s officially spooky season, so it’s ...

At this year’s AACR Annual Meeting, we spoke with numerous scientists about their research, the challenges that they have faced, and the innovative approaches evolving our understanding of cancer and ...

RNA interference (RNAi) screening is an approach commonly used in functional genomics that enables sequence-specific gene silencing through the delivery of synthetic small interfering RNAs (siRNA).

Forget bricks and mortar, scientists hoping to build houses on other worlds are turning to two unexpected building materials: gelatin and yeast. Mars is a terrible place to build a house. It’s ...
